Masks

Probably all of us have masks, I admire people who are consistent with their interaction with different people. I know, I don't but I'm always trying.

Yes, you've read it right, I do also show different face to different people. I guess I normally base it on my comfort level. Well, let me enumerate again:

1. Family/Housemates - I've been with them for a long time and i have deviced different ways for me to enjoy their company. With them, I can be my childish me, and the most annoying person ever. I even annoy the dog and the cat. I don't know why I enjoy doing this. How do i annoy them? I call their name several times, just for the sake of gettig their attention, pinch them, slap their bodies while sleeping even roll on the top of their bodies. Of course, i only do this to my sister, brother, and two other cousins. But the annoying name calling, I do that all the time. Especially, when I've had too much sugar. Weehee.. I will be so in the mood to annoy.

2. College friends - with them, I don't know why I turn into the funny me. Never serious just plain funny, sarcastic and negative. I cried before them, whining I wouldn't graduate I'm still surprised up to now how I did it. But these are the people who could really put up with me. Even if I'm two hrs late, or I don't show up during meetings, well, I don't know why, but even if I'm like this, well I am always forgiven. I'm trying to change this now, my time is really impt now. I am juggling in between activities. Sheesh. Ika nga ni Rhona, I have too many extra-curricular activities nowadays. I have to be in time so that other activities won't be compromised. Yehesss excuse!

3. Office buddies - of course, this is where I work. What's good with them is that we're all buddies, and I can give them my most cuthroat joke and they won't mind. Or not. Or I don't know. Well, what I love about this group is the conversations we share. I feel smarter when I'm with them. I am in touch with my philantropic self (or whatever that means) when I'm with them. They also thrive to be healthy beings too, so I try to be my competetive self (let me emphasize on the word TRY, I'm really not that smart, but I've always tried to be one).

4. Aquiantances - i am a goody-too-shoes girl. I admit I love pleasing other people and I always love to leave a good impression. I can't help it.

Sometimes i go number 4 on my friends or family, or sometimes when I am so not in the mood i will be transforming into my party pooper self and stay inside my room the whole day, reading books and listening to music, or sleeping or whatever.

I think this is not just me. I think it's important for us to socialize properly, every person has the right to be dealt properly even if they act as if they don't deserve it. I also want to change some of these, of course, i want other people to know me as me. It's just that you can't be too comfortable with everyone.

So, I guess these masks are here to stay after all.
